This coming Friday, October 30th, should be an interesting ride with Halloween spirit in the air.  Ooo, that sounded scary.    Well, as scheduled, the ride will be meeting at Tranquility park at 6:30pm and hitting the streets around 7.  Come dressed in your awesome Halloween costume if you’d like and anything else you feel like wearing that night.  Should be a crazy ride!

Also, remember to keep the rides safe by respecting the road and the vehicles on it.  We know that some of you hard core riders hate cars and want to destroy them, but save that energy for your next ride through town.  Here’s all we ask from all riders, which will help keep the rides safe and enjoyable for all:

1.  Respect all vehicles on the road.

2.  Stay to the right side of the road when you can.  Please don’t take all 4 lanes when riding through downtown.

3.  THESE RIDES ARE NOT RACES, so everyone please chill and ride at a steady pace.

4.  The rides are usual flow well and we safely go through lights.  However, when it doesn’t appear to be safe to do so, please stop at red lights and keep the gaps closed between pockets of riders.  We don’t want to leave anyone behind.

We’ll see you all this Friday.  If anyone takes photos from the ride, please contact us so that we can get a few to post here on the site.  Thanks.

Well, with the collaboration of several regulars at the mass and your friendly neighborhood facebook, a little planning in advance has been done and we have a proposed route for tonight.  We’ll be leaving downtown as close to 7pm as possible and heading into the East side this month.  The ride rarely goes into that side of town, but we thought this month would be a good time to change that.  A few different stops include a local skatepark, University of Houston, and Hermann Park’s Miller Outdoor theatre.  In addition, there’s a party going down at the IndieHouse on Calumet and there’s also a benefit at the Photography Center on Alabama.  Don’t know if the ride will be able to hit all of those up in one night, but as usual, we’ll play it by ear and simply enjoy the ride.

There’s a lot of buzz about tonights ride with many people bringing new first time riders.  Should be a good night.  If you’re coming out, be sure to be safe on the ride, respect vehicles, enjoy a laid back ride, and remember that this is a casual ride, not a race.  See everyone tonight!
